These Days - Bon jovi

I was walking around, just a face in the crowdTrying to keep myself out of the rainSaw a vagabond king wear a styrofoam crownWondered if I might end up the same

Theres a man out on the corner, singing old songs about changeEverybody got their cross to bare, these daysShe came looking for some shelter with a suitcase full of dreamsTo a motel room on the boulevard

I guess shes trying to be James DeanShes seen all the disciples and all the wanna besNo one wants to be themselves these daysStill theres nothing to hold on to but these days

These days - the stars seem out of reachThese days - there aint a ladder on these streetsThese days - are fast, love dont last in this graceless ageThere aint anybody left but but us these days

Jimmy shoes busted both his legs, trying to learn to flyFrom a second story window, he just jumped and closed his eyesHis mamma said he was crazy - he said mamma "Ive got to try"Dont you know that all my heroes died

And I guess Id rather die than fade awayThese days - the stars seem out of reachBut these days - there aint a ladder on the streetsThese days - are fast, nothing lasts in this graceless age

Even innocence has caught the midnight trainAnd there aint anybody left but but us these daysI know Romes still burningThough the times have changed

This world keeps turning round and round and round and roundThese daysThese days - the stars seem out of reachBut these days - there aint a ladder on the streets

These days - are fast, nothing lasts in this graceless ageEven innocence has caught the midnight trainAnd there aint anybody left but but us these daysThese days - the stars seem out of reach

These days - there aint a ladder on the streetsThese days - are fast, nothing lasts in this graceless ageThere aint no time to wasteThere aint anybody left to take the blame

And there aint anybody left but but us these daysThere aint anybody left but but us these days
